way too cheap that mate - dont worry though, put it down to experience - you'll soon be adding another nought! :lol:

looking at the age of it - if its a close coupled one - call in the experts!

isnt it strange he cant find anyone to do the work? - and more importantly properly! esp in this day and age - my father-in-law had exactly the same problem a couple of years ago with people letting him down (I was too busy at the time to help full-time) - we ended up doing the job between us...

Lethal stuff that one shot -thought that it was out of general sale a while back? - know the plumb center and pts havent stocked it for a while - I learnt my lesson with it a few years back when instead of clearing the blockage it syhoned into a ladies washing machine :roll: that ended up in a...

sorry but what do expect the plumber to do? - as long as its level/not leaking thats his job done esp if you've purchased the bath yourself

I do a lot of maintence on blocks of flats, the ones I work on at least upto the 9th floor have twin supplies - a rising mains that serves the CW on the kitchen sink and also all the HW in the flat (combis), the other supply comes from a tank in the lift room for the toilet, bath CW and WHB CW...

Electic shower may be the best and cheapest option

wouldnt touch them with a barge-pole - better to be sat on your a*** skint than doing a few weeks work then being skint - a couple of years back we got done for 12k :evil: - lesson learned and all that.....

Hi all - does anyone use Constructiononline? - think we must have signed upto them a few years back becuase we still have the van livery on a couple of the older vans :D - a few maintenance contracts are up this winter and was wondering if its worth signing up again while looking for new...

in my experiance blobs of silicone and wc pans/pan connectors dont mix - probably not been installed correctly in the first place :? - get it done properly or you'll be ripping off the tiles again sooner rather than later

one of these - will pay for itself over and over again 8) http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9271753&fh_view_size=10&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=drain+pump&fh_eds=%c3%9f&fh_refview=search&ts=1276116180788&isSearch=true

I have one and tbh it rarely gets used - for one thing the outlet is too big for a whb, you cant beat a drain rod and a 4" plunger for WCs and it takes the arms of garths big brother to use on a kitchen sink - save yourself £65 and get the smaller version from BQ - if that wont shift most sink...

yes - they are pretty common in flats to be connected to the bath overflow although most new cisterns have the combined syphon/overflow - and is it just me but I'm not a big lover of the torbeck valves? - they seem to cross-thread as soon as you take them out of the packet and the thread seems...

these ones are adjustable...

I've always found with taps as in life "you get what you pay for! 8)

and under no circumstances use it if your washing machine waste is connected to a combi sink trap unless theres a non return valve fitted on the WM waste :wink:

may be a basic one but have you checked its not blocked?

cheapest option off a combi would be a bath-filler with a shower attachment - cheap as chips and gets the job done 8)

who needs college when you've got this place :D - seriously though I always thought the main sympton of a failed coil was dirty/discoloured water coming through the hot water taps?

Cheers Chaps - if it is a failed/split coil wouldnt the cylinder keep filling up, eventually causing it to leak again? and why only when the hot water is on? - if so I better get back in the morning and isolate the supply to the f+e tank :shock:
